Answer: 0.9444

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The proportion of politicians are lawyers : <em>p </em>=0.56

Sample size : n = 564

Let q be th sample proportion.

The probability that the proportion of politicians who are lawyers will differ from the total politicians proportion by greater than 4% will be :-

P(|q-p|

Hence, the required probability = 0.9444

Determine an equation for the right bisector of the line segment with endpoints J(-5,3) and K(3,-2)
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

y=1.6x+2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The right bisector of the line segment JK is a perpendicular line to the segment JK that pass through the midpoint of segment JK

step 1

Find the midpoint JK

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})

we have

J(-5,3),K(3,-2)

substitute the values

M(\frac{-5+3}{2},\frac{3-2}{2})

M(\frac{-2}{2},\frac{1}{2})

M(-1,\frac{1}{2})

step 2

Find the slope JK

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

J(-5,3),K(3,-2)

substitute

m=\frac{-2-3}{3+5}

m=\frac{-5}{8}

m=-\frac{5}{8}

step 3

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the segment JK

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of the slopes is equal to -1)

m_1*m_2=-1

we have

m_1=-\frac{5}{8}  ----> slope of segment JK

Find m_2

substitute

(-\frac{5}{8})*m_2=-1

m_2=\frac{8}{5}

step 4

Find the equation for the right bisector of the line segment JK

The equation in point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=\frac{8}{5}

point\ M(-1,\frac{1}{2})

substitute

y-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{5}(x+1)

Convert to slope intercept form

isolate the variable y

y-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{8}{5}

y=\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{8}{5}+\frac{1}{2}

y=\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{21}{10}

y=1.6x+2.1

I am having trouble with this problem. I need to find the lengths of this right triangle. How would you do this?
podryga [215]
You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle.  the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'

so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out

so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11

11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60

12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth

A delivery person uses a service elevator to bring boxes of books up to an office. The delivery person weighs 160 lbs and each b
german

Answer:

16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

160+50x=1000

Solve for the x and you'll get 16.8. Now, because you can't have a fraction of a box, and you can't go over the limit, the answer is 16 boxes.

(How to solve for x:

Get x by itself by subtracting 160 to both sides.

50x=1000-160

50x=840

Divide both sides by 50.

x=16.8)
